No, that seems to be missing.  The only function in cairo-xlib-xrender.h
is:

cairo_public cairo_surface_t *
cairo_xlib_surface_create_with_xrender_format (Display           *dpy,
                                               Drawable           drawable,
                                               Screen            *screen,
                                               XRenderPictFormat *format,
                                               int                width,
                                               int                height);

Following other backends, it would be natural to add:

XRenderPictFormat *
cairo_xlib_surface_get_xrender_format (cairo_surface_t *surface);

I'll add it to the roadmap.
